Not trying to say I know the details, but isn't this similar to Lincoln ending slavery for all states? The southern states felt it was thier right to decide/succeed, and the loss in the Civil War was a loss of state rights? From what I understand the railroad was mainly northern so states with the railroad grew in population which gave the south less representatives in government therefore less representation in the government decisions. To be clear, im not for slavery, and this post is from memory of some video I watched years ago. Seems the federal government has worked hard to erode state rights for centuries. Not letting the south succeed was a blow to state rights and a set back for freedom IMHO.
The Emancipation Proclamation only applied to slavery in the states engaged in the rebellion against the United States. It did not end slavery in states that did not secede. Not surprisingly, the Confederacy ignored it.
After the Confederacy surrendered in April 1865 the Proclamation was enforced. But, at that point the Confederacy was occupied territory and had not regained their statehood, so they had no states rights. The 13th Amendment was ratified later that year and unequivocally made slavery unconstitutional.
Thanks for the education. Thats what I love about gaw. Post an opinion, ask a question and get quality information back rather than snow flakes peeing themselves.

Your welcome. It’s an era that interests me, mainly because my Great Great Grandfather was a Union Soldier.
The problem that slavery had to begin it. It was unconstitutional to begin with.
No where in the constitution was color mentioned. The deep state changed the definition of what a man / woman means.
Just like they are doing right now.
